Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EXEC CICS ASSIGN ABCODE returns a value * * of NULLs. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** An EXEC CICS START command is function shipped to a remote region which is shutting down, so the START is rerouted to a second region by the dynamic router program DFHDSRP, where it is executed successfully. A subsequent EXEC CICS ASSIGN ABCODE command returns a value of x'00000000'. The initial failure to function ship the START request had not left an ABEND code in field ABNDCODE, which is inspected by the ASSIGN ABCODE command, however the command should have returned blanks rather than zeros.
Problem conclusion
EXEC CICS ASSIGN ABCODE processing has been changed so that in the reported error scenario blanks rather than nulls will be returned to the user.
